Being a PC user my whole life.... This computer is absolutely AMAZING!!! 10 plus hours of battery... super fast processor and really nice graphics card.. and plenty of storage with 250 gb(though I will upgrade this and the ram..) This computer is really fast and I'm shocked as to how easy it is to get used to... I've only had mine a day but I'm already used to it... MACS ARE AMAZING!!! GET THIS COMPUTER FOR PORTABILITY AND FAST PROCESSING!!! It's fast and has excellent battery life. The screen shows great colors. From the moment I opened the box to the present it has been a great joy. It is always reliable, never bugged and responds well. I love the operating system and the preloaded software. Well, I have to say since I bought my Mac, I won't ever go back to any Windows. It's solid. Love the stability of the Mac software and operating system. The only downfall is a lot of the software I have won't work with Mac and iWork is not worth the price of it. It seems to be incompatible with everything else. But the machine is awesome and iLife is great and I love Snow Leopard X. Ever since I bought this laptop, so far I've experience nothing but constant break downs of the laptop and bad customer services I received over the phone with toshiba customer services hotlines. I constantly had to send my laptop in for services every 3 months and it always seems to be the same problem that they said they had already fixed. Toshiba customer services will indirectly deal with your problems by constantly tranferring you from one country to another, and I am not kidding you, I called different hours of the day and you'll get someone else from another country trying to get you to tell them your life story all over again, since they make it sound like they don't have your history list of your calls right in front of them. It's a long and tirring process that after a while it seems like their game plan was to wear you out so you would want to give up on contacting them. And at one point, they blame me for installing a bad memory stick when I upgrade my memory for the first time during my purchase of the laptop (I bought the memory stick they recomended). Long story short, since I experience so many problems with my laptop every since I bought it from day one, I didn't ask for a new laptop or a refund of what I pay for a crapy laptop, but just an extension of my laptop warranty for another year, they made a big deal of out that and after so many calls and complaints about their products and services, they finally gave in. Was this product worth my time and money to ever want to purchase another products that is toshiba or relating to toshiba? Probably not ever again. I'll rather be out of date then spend more money on toshiba. Remember to do your research first before consider buying a toshiba product. Purchased as a gift for a friend. The service I received from Toshiba went above and beyond the call of duty. My friend reports the notebook is astonishing in performance, picture quality, and ease of use. It is extremely portable and easily connects to WIFI at the library and elsewhere. Just what the doctor ordered. the key bindings take a little getting used to, but have loved the Macbook Pro. Delivery was early too. Most everything is fine with this machine: speed, capacity, build. The only thing I don't understand is that the resolution of the screen isn't high enough for some pages, such as Yahoo!Mail. Yes, I have it on the highest available setting. Plain and simple, it(laptop) runs great and loads fast. Easy to carry, can be taken anywhere, can be hooked up to printers,headsets. Love that it doesn't take up space like a regular computer. This computer gets very hot, before shutting down. It is not ideal for children because of the temp. I Contacted HP  about this situation and was given excuses, without results. They didn't even try to assist me or even offer a replacement. I will never purchase a HP again ever.
